Überregulierung auch in den USA

"SpaceX had to do a study to see if Starship would hit a shark. I'm like "It's a big ocean, there's a lot of sharks. It's not impossible, but it's very unlikely." OK fine, we'll do it, but we need the data, can you give us the Shark data? They said no. They said they could give the data to their Western division but they don't trust them. We're like, 'Is this a comedy?' Eventually we got the data, and the sharks were going to be fine. We thought we were done. But then they hit us with: 'Well, what about whales?" When you look at the Pacific, how many whales do you see? Honestly, if we did hit a whale, the whale had it coming, because the odds are so low. It's like Final Destination: whale edition. So then we had to do the WHALE analysis. It goes on and on. They said, what if the rocket goes underwater and explodes and the whales get hearing damage? Umm, If we could make a rocket go underwater and become a submarine, that would be a feat of physics that we could not accomplish. It's just one crazy thing after another. So yes, I really feel the pain of Government overregulation."
